Here’s one bad sign that tonight’s PBS documentary on Fidel Castro is not going to be very tough: the Washington Post review in their TV Week insert doesn’t use the word “communist” (just “radical”) or the word “dictator.”

They do let filmmaker Adriana Bosch explain that when her family emigrated, her school assigments were obedient enough to the regime that they asked her if she wanted to stay behind.

The Post review also uses the dreaded euphemism “agrarian reform” to describe communist confiscation of property: “Bosch’s film later notes that when Castro began the process of agrarian reform, confiscating the holdings of large landowners for use by the peasants, the first property he seized was his own family’s farm. Castro’s mother, the film notes, never forgave her son.”
